Assessment of phosphogypsum impact on the salt-marshes of the Tinto river (SW Spain): role of natural attenuation processes

About 120 Mton of phosphogypsum from the fertiliser industry were stack-piled on the salt-marshes of the Tinto river (Spain). This paper investigates the capacity of salt-marshes to attenuate contamination due to downward leaching from phosphogypsum. Solids and pore-waters were characterized at different depths of the pile to reach the marsh-ground. In superficial zones, metals were highly mobile, and no reduced sulphur was found. However, pollutant concentration decreased in the pore-water in deeper oxygen-restricted zones. Metal removal occurred by precipitation of newly formed sulphides, being this process main responsible for the contamination attenuation. Pyrite-S was the main sulphide component (up to 2528 mg/kg) and occurred as framboids, leading to high degrees of pyritization (up to 97%). The sulphidization reaction is Fe-limited; however, excess of acid-volatile sulphide over other metals cause precipitation of other sulphides, mainly of Cu and As. This decrease in metal mobility significantly minimises the impact of phosphogypsums on the salt-marshes.     

珠峰农牧社区山地景观下的雪豹栖息地利用特征（英文）

雪豹(Panthera uncia)是青藏高原南缘喜马拉雅山地的顶级捕食者,其中段的珠峰国家级自然保护区是雪豹的重要栖息地之一。随着保护区内外几十年来快速的经济发展和人口增长,雪豹面临许多人为干扰和栖息环境改变所带来的压力。为了更好地了解该区域雪豹的栖息地利用情况,以及人类活动对雪豹栖息地利用的影响,我们采用景观生态学动态视角,基于多尺度和占域模型开展了本研究。首先,我们在面积 825 km²的样地系统布设 118 台红外相机开展野外调查。进而依据雪豹生态学特性和当地环境特征,选取若干自然环境与人为干扰因子,并利用各因子间的组合构建栖息地利用模型,基于红外相机数据,分别对雪豹栖息地利用进行了冬夏两个不同季节(共计 180 天)的比较研究。结果表明,冬夏两季的最佳模型分别是栖息地(HABITAT)模型和人为影响(ANTHROPOGENIC INFLUENCE)模型(AICc_w≤2)。就模型总体表现而言,冬季优于夏季,表明夏季雪豹栖息地利用存在有未被探测到的变量的可能性;单变量模型表明雪豹在冬季倾向于利用较高崎岖度和更大尺度的栖息地(多尺度焦点...     

Oil spill detection with fully polarimetric UAVSAR data

In this study, two ocean oil spill detection approaches based on four scattering matrices measured by fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) are presented and compared. The first algorithm is based on the co-polar correlation coefficient, ρ, and the scattering matrix decomposition parameters, Cloud entropy (H), mean scattering angle (α) and anisotropy (A). While each of these parameters has oil spill signature in it, we find that combining these parameters into a new parameter, F, is a more effective way for oil slick detection. The second algorithm uses the total power of four polarimetric channels image (SPAN) to find the optimal representation of the oil spill signature. Otsu image segmentation method can then be applied to the F and SPAN images to extract the oil slick features. Using the L-band fully polarimetric Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle – synthetic aperture radar (UAVSAR) data acquired during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster event in the Gulf of Mexico, we are able to successfully extract the oil slick information in the contaminated ocean area. Our result shows that both algorithms perform well in identifying oil slicks in this case.     

"黑色"非晶形三价铁羟基氧化物及其对有害物质的吸附

利用硝酸铁与氨水之间的水解反应,生成了一种新的"黑色"非晶形三价铁羟基氧化物 (FeOOH).该物质在室温下稳定,有较高的硬度,其比表面积约为 300 m2/g,零电荷点 (PZC)在 pH 7～ 8之间.根据 M(o)ssbauer谱的鉴定,它具有四方纤铁矿(β-FeOOH)的结构特征.

Puziwan Gold Deposit in Shanxi, China: A Special Linear Cryptoexplosive Breccia Type Gold Deposit

The Puziwan gold deposit is a special linear cryptoexplosive breccia type deposit found in northeastern Shanxi, China, in recent years. The deposit is located in a secondary metallogenic. belt of the most famous Au-Ag polymetallic metallogenic belt along the north margin of the North China platform. The secondary metallogenic belt is a synmagmatic tension-shear fault-fracture belt of ENE linear trend. The Indosinian cryptoexplosive breccia body, quartz monzonitic porphyry (beschtauite breccia), quartz monzonite (243.7 Ma, K-Ar), Yanshanian granite-porphyry (105±6 Ma, Rb-Sr) and orebodies mostly occur as dykes or veins and short lenses along the structural fracture belt. The orebodies are emplaced in the fractured cryptoexplosive breccia body in the tectonomagmatic belt and their attitude is consistent with that of the breccia body. The orebodies have two types: one is shallow-seated thick and big ones, which are short-lenticular in plan and wedge-shaped in cross section, shallow buried, large in size a     

阿尔泰中蒙边界塔克什肯口岸后造山富碱侵入岩体的形成时代、成因及其地壳生长意义

塔克什肯口岸富碱侵入岩体是阿尔泰造山带典型的后造山岩体。本次锆石U-Pb定年给出~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄286±1Ma(MSWD=0．05),代表其形成年龄。这为阿尔泰后造山岩浆作用提供了一个可靠的年代学证据。该岩体主要岩石类型为正长岩、石英二长岩、石英碱长正长岩、正长花岗岩,富钾、富钠、准铝,富集轻稀土、大离子亲石元素,亏损高场强元素,与区内相邻的碱性花岗岩(A型花岗岩)在岩石学、地球化学方面不同。该岩体Sr初始值变化于0．7038～0．7040,ε_(Nd)(t)值为正值(+6．2～+6．3),Nd模式年龄T_(DM)为542～546Ma,与中亚造山带典型的高(正)ε_(Nd)(t)值花岗岩类似。而且,其ε_(Nd)(t)值远高于区内同造山花岗岩,也高于造山带内部同时期的Ⅰ-A型后造山花岗岩。依据岩体构造特征、年代学、地球化学和区域地质背景综合分析,该岩体应为后造山岩体,在时空上可与蒙古南部碱性岩带对比,其形成可能与富集高场强元素的亏损地幔岩浆底侵,导致下地壳重熔,并发生岩浆混合有关。这说明,在阿尔泰造山带后造山阶段,除了可能的俯冲下埋的年轻洋壳或岛弧物质外,还有新的幔源物质加入到地壳。这为中亚造山带后造山阶段陆壳垂向生长提供了一个新证据。同时,也为东北北部-蒙古南部碱性岩带向西沿入阿尔泰造山带提供了证据。

红十字湖地区锂云母-透锂长石伟晶岩脉中锡锰钽矿的发现

锡锰钽矿(wodginite)理想式为MnSnTa2O8,Z=4,其结构为锡铁钽矿(ixiolite)结构的有序化形式。它是钽的主要工业矿物,是高度分异演化伟晶岩的标志矿物之一。在加拿大红十字湖地区锂云母-透锂长石伟晶岩脉中发现了这一钽矿物。矿物为黑褐色,呈半自形,颗粒达0.2mm,分布于由锂云母钠长石构成的条带中,与之共生的是一套典型的、高演化的花岗伟晶岩矿物组合。锡锰钽矿具有Mn/Fe、Sn/Ti、Ta/Nb比值高,杂质少的特点。矿物平均分子式为:Mn1.00(Sn0.64Ta0.24Ti0.04Mn0.04Zn0.02Fe0.01)0.99(Ta1.69Nb0.31)2.00O8;晶胞参数a=0.9534nm,b=1.1482nm,c=0.5123nm,β=91°07',V=0.5607nm3。依据矿物β>91°、V>0.560nm3、对偶面网221与221具强分裂衍射双峰、I021/I220为0.19和Mn/(Fe+Mn)≈1等特征,在锡锰钽矿与锡铁钽矿所构成的同质多像、有序-部分有序-无序这样一个连续系列中,本区所产锡锰钽矿属有序端员矿物,其阳离子在八面体中分布的有序度约为95%。在钽资源的寻找和开发利用中,应重视含锡锰钽矿的锂云母-透锂长石伟晶岩脉。     

青藏高原东部及其邻区力学耦合的岩石圈变形模式

根据青藏高原东部及其邻区布设的143个宽频带固定和流动地震台站的远震记录的SKS波分裂分析获得了各台站的快波偏振方向和快慢波之间的时间延迟。SKS分裂分析结果总体上反映了高原东部的上地幔物质流动方向,即高原内部表现为环绕喜马拉雅东构造结的顺时针旋转。在造山运动过程中有关岩石圈地壳和地幔力学耦合的造山变形方式,用从GPS和第四纪断裂滑动速率数据确定的地面变形场和由地震波各向异性数据推断的地幔变形场联合分析来定量求得。在青藏高原东部和云南、四川等地区新近快速增加的GPS和SKS波分裂观测数据,提供了对青藏高原岩石圈地幔实际变形方式的检验。这些新的数据不仅加强了高原内部力学耦合岩石圈的证据,而且也解释了高原外部相同的耦合特征。文中引入简单剪切变形和纯剪切变形的概念,用于解释高原内外不同的耦合变形特征。青藏高原和周围区域力学耦合岩石圈的垂直连贯变形有两个方面的大陆动力学含义:第一,岩石圈垂直强度剖面被一个重要的条件所约束,即要求与重力势能变化相关的应力能够从地壳传递到地幔;第二,青藏高原各向异性的空间变化反映了一个岩石圈变形的大尺度模式,以及从高原内部的简单剪切变形向高原外部的纯剪切变形的过渡带。文中提出的力学耦合岩石圈变形模型与当前已有的多种造山运动变形模型具有不同的变形含义,因此,地幔变形在青藏高原隆升过程中起主要作用。
